Mark 8:1-13

Mark 8:1-13

1. Let us observe how great is the kindness and compassion of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2. Let us observe that with Christ nothing is impossible.
3. Let us observe how much sorrow unbelief occasions to our Lord Jesus Christ.

"Let us strive to make Jesus our pattern in this, as well as in everything else. Let us be kind, and compassionate, and piteous, and courteous to all men. Let us be ready to do good to all men, and not only to friends and the household of faith."

"Weak, infirm, corrupt, empty as believers feel themselves, let them never despair, while Jesus lives. In Him there is a boundless store of mercy and grace, laid up for the use of all His believing members, and ready to be bestowed on all who ask in prayer."

"There are few surer marks of an unconverted heart, than carelessness and indifference about the souls of others."

Questions:

1. Do we have hearts like the Lord Jesus, that show compassion to others? Are we ready to do good works when needs arise?

2. Do we find comfort in the providential care of the one who knows even when the sparrow falls from the sky? Do we trust Him to give us our daily bread in due time?

3. Do we feel hurt, pain, and sorrow when we see others continuing in sin and unbelief? Do we feel grieved and concerned about the state of the unconverted?

4. Do we realize that our sin and unbelief still grieve our Lord? Do we strive and pray that we may not add to, but rather be delivered, from such?
